I agree that the poor needed a fine place to stay in and I am really proud that something like this happens in my country. It's not like the places will have bathroom vanities and all sort of cool things, but each place will be called "home" and that's what matters, in the end, a warm place to come home to.

I bet that the North West Department of Developmental Local Government and Housing will be able to sell house fast with this project. The poor needed to see that they are still accepted and supported so that they can have a safe place to start from. I wonder how many houses there are.

The North West Department of Developmental Local Government and Housing has launched a housing project worth R200 million for the working poor in Mafikeng.

The North West government will provide a R48 000 subsidy, called the Finance Linked Subsidy Programme, for those who want to purchase a house from the development. Only those making between R3 500 and R7 000 will qualify for the subsidy.

"The developer takes the full risk of the development from application for township establishment, design and monitoring of construction process", says department spokesperson, Lesiba Kgwele.
